So I have a Toshiba laptop and it came partitioned as most laptops do, but I wanted to merge those and to do so I used Partition Wizard, a good tool I had already used before, and that went great. A few days ago, however, I decided to format my Hard Drive in order to do a complete re-install of Windows 7. That, I think, was a very bad idea as when I pop in the Windows 7 disk, I get a message asking me to press any key (where's the "any" key? lol) to boot from CD and so I do. After that, installation proceeds as usual and after I tell the language and keyboard input and whatnot, the installation starts.
During installation, it is normal that the computer restart itself a few times and simply resume progress. With my laptop, however, it shuts itself off and when it starts again, instead of resuming the installation as usual, I get the same message prompt to press any key to boot from CD. If I just leave it there, the message will not go away even after a few hours. If I press a key, it boots from CD, but installation starts from scratch so I have no way of finishing it.
Does anyone know how to fix this? I have already set the default boot drive to be the DVD reader but nothing changes. Thanks in advance for the help guys.
